Sorry if this is a stupid thing to say..
The only way an FTO would be in a DRIFT movie..
would be in the background.. theres no way an FTO can drift..
seeing as its a front wheel drive.. but i dunno..

That being said.. i wanna go for a cruise.. i miss cruising..
*sigh* :(

A front wheel drive car can drift... All you need is a couple of trays from Maccas and some imagination :wink:

I've actually done a FWD drift a couple of time with another car, no tricks, just good old suspension work.

I used to have a video of a 98 civic sedan, that drifts well.. slides around corners.. using handrbake mostly i guess but also in the wet.. he thrashes the sh*t out of that poor car.. hits rev limiter through out most of the video.. hopefully if someone else knows what im talking about they can post the video.. but yeh there is only one part that looks like super fun.. and thats when he spins it down this massive grass hill haha.. WEEEEEE!! :D

Well if there's enough money, then anything can be done.

FATF3 = Evo has a Rear wheel drive conversion done so it can drift better.
It's all about which car they wanna pick, money can be spent to make it the way u want it to be :)

Was DEFINITELY a FD RX7.

Agreed.. The movie sucked poo. Mainly because I hated the chaps' voice. I really liked the camera work in the movie though .. The race scenes were done really well.

I never expected a story line.
